It's a bit frustrating for us at the moment even though we know we can make a pledge now, so far we raised over £300 with our impromptu but most fast selling tombolla stall I've ever seen on Saturday in the Coral Stand, we ended up having to send our Secretary out to restock the stall with easter eggs for the last hour, plus £100 has been pledged (and paid) by the Featherstone Rovers Wheelchair RL team, then we have the Push For Pledges 24 hour wheelchair relay around the pitch from 7.00pm tomorrow until 7.00pm Friday so we can't pledge our total yet.

Just hoping the snow clears and we don't have to clear the track to do it but if we need to I'm sure it will be done.

Come on everyone, Adey has been the voice of reason amongst others and should have put a lot of minds at rest, pledge now and save this great Club and it's not just a Rugby League Club it's a way of life.

Come on you Bulls.

To be fair, if the Bulls don't survive, some of the blame would have to lie with the fans who don't pledge. They have happily accepted £75 season tickets, yet don't feel the club is worth anymore than that

A friend of mine got 3 season tickets but since then lost his job do you expect him to pay 300 quid out of his job seekers allowance.

Not 300 quid, but nobody s saying you have to pay the full 100.

I'm a student, paid for my ST out of my summer job money, which isn't coming in anymore, now i'm living off my loan. I've pledged everything I can, probably more. Not suggesting he skints himself, but every little helps. 5, 10 or 20 pounds from the rest f the ST holders would make a huge difference.

And nobody expects any fan to pay anything. But if these fans expect a SL team in Bradford to watch, then pledging would be a very good idea.

Red, the club points out - there is no requirement to pay £100. That was just another example of the unexpected (to them) consequences of their problematical PR.

People can pledge ANYTHING.

Even paying the price of a pint would help.

Well said, it does not have to be £100, whatever anyone can pledge is a step forward towards that pledge total.

Especially if it's one of those swanky wine bars where all the accountants go!

Each according to his ability and his circumstances?

I pledged a hell of a lot more than £100. That will help even out for your mate if he can only afford to pledge a small amount.

Glad to hear it!

Ice and lemon in a pint of cider, something wrong with those places!

You are just being ridiculous now. Noone would expect him to pledge £300. But does he love the club, does he enjoy going? Maybe he could pledge what he can afford? £20 maybe?
